Seeing this article is truly shocking. As a member of OKX, I want to say: thank you for voicing these silent costs and lonely choices for us. You are right, our path has been a bit "clumsy". - While others conquer the market with speed, we meticulously scrutinize hundreds of pages of regulatory documents, word by word. - Those licenses have never been numbers to boast about internally, but rather heavy responsibilities. Behind each one lies countless self-reflections and compromises, a commitment to willingly wear the "tightening spell". - In the face of regulation, we have paid a huge price, which has made us even more determined—to win the future within the rules, openly and honestly. You said we are "too low-key, with weak narrative ability"; this hits our sore spot and also strikes at our persistence.
